Summary

A prospective multicenter imaging study for evaluation of chest pain. Objective is to determine whether an initial non-invasive anatomic imaging strategy with coronary CT angiography (CTA) will improve clinical outcomes in subjects with symptoms concerning for coronary artery disease relative to an initial functional testing strategy (usual care). Study hypothesis: initial anatomic testing strategy will provide information that will result in superior long-term health outcomes as compared to an initial functional testing strategy.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • new or worsening chest pain suspicious for clinically significant coronary artery disease (CAD)
  • no prior evaluation for this episode of symptoms
  • planned non-invasive testing for diagnosis
  • men age ≥55 years
  • men age ≥45 years with increased probability of coronary artery disease (CAD) due to either (A. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) requiring medical treatment OR Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) defined as documented >50% peripheral arterial stenosis treated medically or invasively OR cerebrovascular disease (stroke, documented > 50% carotid stenosis treated medically or invasively) OR B. At least one of the following cardiovascular risk factors: 1-Ongoing tobacco use, 2-Hypertension, 3-Abnormal ankle brachial index (ABI) defined as less than 50% peripheral arterial stenosis treated medically or invasively OR cerebrovascular disease (stroke, documented > 50% carotid stenosis treated medically or invasively) OR B. At least one of the following cardiovascular risk factors: 1-Ongoing tobacco use, 2-Hypertension, 3-Abnormal ankle brachial index (ABI) defined as less than moderate) or cardiomyopathic process (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or reduced systolic left ventricular function (LVEF) ≤ 40%)) which could explain cardiac symptoms
  • Contraindication to undergoing a coronary tomographic angiography (CTA), including but not limited to: a. Allergy to iodinated contrast agent, b. Unable to receive beta blockers unless heart rate < 65 beats per minute, c. Pregnancy
  • Life expectancy < 2 years
  • Unable to provide written informed consent or participate in long-term follow-up
